Admission to SUNY Delhi is based on an applicant's academic qualifications, and is made without regard to the race, color, creed, age, sex, national origin, marital status, disability, or handicap of an individual. Admission will be offered to qualified applicants whose academic preparation and experience indicate that there is a reasonable chance for success in their chosen curricula.

Applications are received on a rolling basis. However, students are encouraged to apply early, particularly to popular programs of study such as Nursing, Applied Technologies, and Veterinary Science Technology.

The credentials of each applicant are evaluated on an individual basis based on academic standards set by the academic faculty. Students are admitted to specific curricula, and admission varies according to space available.

Candidates are encouraged to include as many college-preparatory courses as possible in their high school program. Applicants with strong academic backgrounds have an advantage over those who have completed less rigorous high school programs, particularly where the number of applicants for programs exceeds the available space.

How to Apply

U.S. citizens and permanent residents may apply by:

Obtaining a SUNY application form from any New York State high school guidance office, by completing the SUNY Delhi Application online at www.delhi.edu, or by writing to the Enrollment Services Office, State University of New York, College of Technology at Delhi, Delhi, New York 13753.

Completing the applicant sections according to the instructions accompanying the application.

Asking their high school guidance counselor to complete the secondary school portion of the application and to attach an official copy of their high school transcript to the application. That application package should then be forwarded, together with the non-refundable application fee, to the State University of New York, Application Processing Center, State University Plaza, Albany, New York 12246.

Notes

Holders of a high school equivalency diploma (GED) should submit a copy of their test scores with the application. High school transcripts may be sent directly to the College.

Scores from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Test (ACT) should be submitted directly from the testing agency.

Applicants may, in certain instances, be required to visit the campus for a personal interview.
